A heart-wrenching tale of love and betrayal in the Black Dagger Brotherhood world from #1 New York Times bestselling author J. R. Ward.

Framed for the grisly murder of his shellan, Kane is condemned to the notorious prison camp—unaware of the dark truth behind his arranged mating. Centuries later, when he is horribly burned while attempting to save others, he prays he’ll finally be reunited in the Fade with his mate…not knowing what revelations await him.

Nadya is a self-taught nurse who does what she can to ease the suffering of the prisoners. When Kane comes under her care, she cannot help but empathize with his condition for very personal reasons—and as the guards take him away one last time, she fears he is facing a terrible death.

After a daring rescue, Kane is offered a treatment that will change his very nature. Choosing life, for the time being, he goes back for the female who took such good care of him—but his duty to Nadya sets him on a collision course with his own past. When long-buried secrets are exposed, his self-destruction is inevitable…unless true love can save his soul.

I enjoyed listening to this story. I didn't really understand the sickness and healing even if he was a snake. Did he become a shape shifter or a host to it? Interesting.

Scary, sad and not much actual romance

I have not thoroughly enjoyed a book from this particular series. The Viper changed that. Even though it was not really a romance, it was exciting and had you on the edge. I love the way she brought in BDB (would love to know what the other brothers are up to and not just V) whatever. This was a great ending and looking forward to what is to come.

The Warden is back

I love anything JRW. Her powers of description surpass any author I’ve read. I dislike having to say I didn’t care for this storyline however it did have its merit and feel sure we will see some of these characters again in future installments. Felt there was way too much violence in this story, much more than usual.

More violence than usual
